"BONNIE is a uruguayan band, born in march 2007, when a group of old friends got together just to make good music. We started playing classic rock covers in private parties and different clubs, while working on some creations of our own. Seeing that people are taking interest in our music, we started to work hard to make more and better songs."

Bonnie Lyrics

The tidiness of cry
The only way I'm leaving here
Is curling up and die
The way our shelter moves above
Controlled by just my hand
Insures the death you're dreaming of
O love, O love, O careless love
I only want to lay with you
My love, my love, my careful love
I've found the hard way love is true
And always love the smiling one
And rounding out will come
With bitter bile and heartless fun
And consciousness made numb
And fearful hate that's stemming out
From fear and only fear
Has made your inner croco shout
And bring his victims here
O love, O love, O careless love
I only want to lay with you
My love, my love, my careful love
I've found the hard way love is true
A creature born in listlessness
His hatred to become
It's here his love is swollen in
And consciousness made numb
And relegate your youth and trust
Your table and your skin
And share the love the godly must
And hold it til the end
O love, O love, O careless love
I only want to lay with you
My love, my love, my careful love
I've found the hard way love is true
I only want to lay with you
My love, my love, my careful love
I've found the hard way love is true
The lyrics of Bonnie's song "Wai" explore themes of love, death, and the human condition. The opening lines, "The lameness of an unborn child / The tidiness of cry," suggest that life is complicated and unpredictable, and that even from birth, we are vulnerable to suffering. The singer then declares that the only way they will leave this world is by "curling up and die," implying a sense of resignation or hopelessness.
The second stanza describes the singer's sense of control over their own life and destiny, with their "shelter" moving above them controlled "by just my hand." However, this control leads to the "death you're dreaming of" and the "drowning" of humanity. The refrain of "O love, O love, O careless love" suggests a longing for connection and an attempt to reconcile the singer's sense of control with their desire for love and intimacy.
In the third stanza, the singer warns of the dangers of trusting in surface appearances, as the "smiling one" may hide bitterness and cruelty. The lines, "And fearful hate that's stemming out / From fear and only fear" suggest that much of life's problems come from a place of fear and insecurity. The fourth stanza introduces the idea of a "creature born in listlessness," whose hatred and love are intertwined, highlighting the complexity of human emotion.
Overall, "Wai" is a poignant and contemplative song that delves into some of life's most profound questions, from the nature of love and intimacy to the inevitability of death and suffering.
